UITableView load a Custom Cell from NIB file throws NSInternalInconsistencyException

Question

In an ios application I have a UITableView. In the `cellForRowAtIndexPath` method I need to return a custom cell using it's NIB name. For that I use `loadNibNamed`. (I will fill the data in the cell after the load in the 'willDisplayCellforRowAtIndexPath') MyItemCell is a XIB file (MyItemCell.xib) that containg 2 UIImageView and a UIButton (Each item has a tag) This is my code: In my viewController ``` - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { return [ViewHelper loadCustomCellWithNibName:@"MyItemCell" owner:self]; } ``` And the method to load the Custom cell from NIB ``` + (UITableViewCell *) loadCustomCellFromNib:(NSString *)nibName owner:(id)owner { UITableViewCell *cell = nil; NSArray *nibObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:nibName owner:owner options:nil]; if([nibObjects count] > 0 ) { cell = [nibObjects objectAtIndex:0]; } else { NSLog(@"Failed to load %@ XIB file!", nibName); } return cell; } ``` Everything…

Accepted Answer

To create custom cell from NIB file try this

```
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:CellIdentifier bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

MyCell *cell = (MyCell*)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    ......
    return cell;
}
```

CellIdentifier is a name of NIB file, used also as cell identifier.
